Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 508 Taking You Fengxia on a Business Trip
Everyone discussed it enthusiastically and decided to take the first step in promoting the manufacturing of lithography machines from research to experiments.

It's almost the end of the working day, but everyone's enthusiasm has not diminished at all.

If the meeting place was not in the project team's hemispherical office area, which was large and well-ventilated, the lingering smoke might have made people faint.

People who do research and technology like this are really good at smoking.

Especially when thinking about a problem, I can't help but want to light one.

"Let them discuss it for the next two days. You come with me on a business trip to the Yaohua Glass Factory in Magic City." Jiang Chen pulled You Fengxia out and said slowly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the butterfly wings that traveled through time or for some other reason, but this glass factory, which should have been in Hong Kong City, somehow ended up in Shanghai.

But it doesn't matter where, as long as we can cooperate.

You Fengxia was stunned for a moment, then she was delighted: "Ah, good!"

"Just the two of us?"

She clearly remembered that the relationship between Jiang Chen and Shangguan Wan'er quickly heated up because of a business trip.

Moreover, Jiang Chen also took her to eat seafood on a fishing boat, which was so romantic.

But I just can't let go of my work at the Seed Institute. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with the progress after being away for too long.

She participated in all the discussions of the lithography machine project team.

Although I cannot make any constructive comments on the research, the work I do is equally important.

Categorize and organize the components involved in the discussion and the technical support required.

Components of the same type that can be produced by the same manufacturer are classified into one category.

Then, based on the technical features of each major manufacturer provided by the Ministry of Industry, a preliminary judgment is made on the factory that is most suitable for producing that type of product.

If there is no factory involved in this category, it means that a new enterprise needs to be established.

In this way, when planning the industrial chain later, we will know clearly which manufacturers’ support is needed.

Then, based on the manufacturer's current technical level, we will further determine the support the manufacturer provides and what technologies are needed to make breakthroughs.

This is the process of building the lithography machine industry chain.

In order to avoid omissions, Jiang Chen also transferred Bai Jing over to assist You Fengxia in recording and processing.

Bai Jing may not have such strong coordination ability, but her ability as a secretary is first-class.

Jiang Chen said: "Yes, it's just the two of us. I'll take you with me for the first time."

"In the future, you may be the only one who will communicate with the manufacturer. Of course, for more important tasks, you can ask Director Li for assistance, or you can ask me."

In the past, in addition to communication, he also helped Yaohua Glass overcome some technical difficulties.

Today's optical fibers and high-transmittance ultraviolet glass and lenses for photolithography machines all require the support of glass factories.

This means that the Internet project team and the lithography machine project team led by Jiang Chen are currently stuck on glass.

Among two manufacturers with relatively high technical content, Jiang Chen chose Yaohua Glass to carry out related support work.

But even for Yaohua, their technology is far from meeting the requirements of optical fiber and lithography machines, so Jiang Chen went there in person to understand their current situation and point them in the right direction.

During this period, Jiang Chen has also been deeply engaged in lithography and Internet-related technologies, including optical manufacturing and lenses.

Hearing that she and Jiang Chen were going out alone, You Fengxia suddenly became excited: "When are we leaving?"

Jiang Chen said, "Let's do it tomorrow. I've asked the administration to write a note. We'll take the train to the Magic City tomorrow."

"The connection with Yaohua has also been completed."

You Fengxia asked, "How long will we be gone?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "At least three days, at most half a month."

“It depends on the specific situation.”

The Ministry of Industry has already issued a notice requiring manufacturers across the country to fully cooperate in the development of lithography machines.

If the manufacturer itself lacks capacity or manpower, it can request assistance from the Ministry of Industry or the Institute of Seed Technology.

However, we cannot refuse to cooperate due to reasons such as insufficient production capacity, insufficient technology, or insufficient manpower.

In fact, after the reform of the worker grade promotion system, the production efficiency of most factories across the country has been greatly improved.

After all, slacking off at work was the norm before.

Anyway, when I get to the factory, I'll get the same salary whether I work or not, so why should I work so hard?

But it’s not the case now. If you are not better and more efficient than others, you cannot be promoted.

If inefficient production continues for a long time, the grade may be reduced.

Moreover, as efficiency is improved, the number of people required to complete the task is reduced.

If the individual efficiency is too low, the factory can apply to the Ministry of Industry to let the inefficient personnel leave the factory and go to the countryside to support agricultural construction. So everyone's motivation has increased a lot, at least there are fewer people who just eat and wait to die.

You Fengxia became more and more excited, and even her breathing became faster, but she didn't show it on her face: "Ah, so long! Then I have to bring more clothes."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, sure! But it's a factory after all, so don't dress too avant-garde."

There are many young people in the Institute of Technology, and they have a strong ability to accept new things.

So everyone's clothes are more fashionable.

Especially Liu Yue and Luo Xue, under the guidance of Jiang Chen, they broke the conventions and gave up the mainstream way of dressing in gray, black, green and red, and have always been the trend leaders.

The clothes are ordinary clothes, but with a slight change in the matching and a few modifications by yourself, they become a unique and fashionable outfit.

This has led other people who have the conditions to follow suit.

There are a few girls who don't care about beauty.

You Fengxia nodded: "Well, I will pay attention."

Jiang Chen said: "Then where should I pick you up tomorrow morning?"

Now Shangguan Yuer has entered the security department for special training, and no one knows how to drive except him.

So there is no need to leave your car at home and just drive directly to the train station.

You Fengxia said: "I'll go to the gate of your courtyard and wait for you!"

Regardless of her identity, she didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen said: "Then don't wait at the door, just come in when you arrive!"

You Fengxia nodded: "Okay, I'll go there early in the morning."

Jiang Chen nodded.

After getting home from get off work and finishing his meal, Jiang Chen said, "Madams, I'm going to the Magic City on a business trip tomorrow. The time is unknown, but I will definitely be back within half a month."

Wan'er went out to learn a programming language, Yu'er was in special training, Zhao Qi had not returned yet, and Zhang Cui went to the breeding base. Only Jiang Chen, Liu Yue and Luo Xue were at home, and it suddenly seemed a little deserted.

Liu Yue nodded, feeling a little reluctant but not showing it at all.

Luo Xue opened her eyes wide: "Ah? Half a month?"

"But boss, I can't sleep without you at night!"

Jiang Chen said unhappily: "Go away, don't you sleep in the same bed with me every day?"

Luo Xue said: "That's different. Knowing you are at home, I feel at ease and sleep soundly."

"But I won't be able to sleep well at night without you."

Luo Xue is the clingiest one among all the people. As long as she has nothing to do, she would like to stay with Jiang Chen all the time.

Even when eating, he had to sit close to Jiang Chen.

So generally speaking, no one would sit on the stool next to Jiang Chen, leaving it for Luo Xue.

Jiang Chen sighed: "You, I'm just on a business trip for a short time, it's not like I won't be back."

"Isn't Xiaoyue at home too? If you're scared, just bring your mother over to live with you, or she can just live in your house."

Luo Xue is much more sensible now. She knows that she can act like a spoiled child, but she must know the limit and must not affect her man's work. So she said:

"What if I miss you?"

Jiang Chen chuckled: "I don't know whether you miss me or my slap and family rules!"

She liked being beaten, and the harder she was beaten, the happier and more excited she felt.

The mother attribute has been developed.

Luo Xue snorted, and her body softened immediately: "Then come and beat me now!"

Jiang Chen said: "You said it, I will tie you up and beat you up today."

Luo Xue was almost unable to sit still, and a mosquito-like sound came out of her mouth: "Hmm!"

Jiang Chen pointed to the room and said, "Go and kneel there. I'll be there soon!"

Liu Yue blushed and turned around and said, "I'll go wash the dishes and clean up."

Luo Xue said: "Sister Yue, remember to come and help me later, I can't do it alone."

Liu Yue nodded and said nothing.

She knew that even if she was included, it would still be in vain!
